Me too. :p Although, I'm going on Sunday and if I think the interval is unclear, I will feel very bad indeed. I have been to some shows before where they could have ended after the first half and where people have walked out (because they've thought it's over rather than bad), but I would just never expect a West End offering to be short. Got to justify the ticket price (for those who are p*ying).

Hope you enjoy the second half when you go again, raj101! o/

Raj, did you leave at the interval or did you go to sleep for a bit? Of course they played Let It Be!
OH NO! :tears:

That was an interval? I thought it ended with A Day In The Life. How dumb was I.
As a matter of interest, didn't you notice that you were the only one who actually walked out? Or did others do the same?

Usually the cast do a curtain call at the end of a stage production lol

The reviews put me off, plus I'm no Beatles fan (though OH is, which probably adds to my resistance), but reading these posts has made me keen to go if I can get a free ticket, so I'll be on the lookout now, too.

I went too Let it Be last night with Hubby and His mum and Dad. Hubby had read the reviews and warned Us it might not be good. Went along with an openmind. Was suprised We really enjoy it. My advice is if go along make Your Own mind up dont listen too the bad reviews. Me and hubby got up dancing but in laws didnt. They never do. We prefer the Beatles earlier songs. Im going again this time with My Aunt, Uncle& Cousins on Sunday afternoon. Then afterwards too see Siro A.

Saw it a few years ago in London and quite enjoyed it; catchy songs and very colourful! Would've probably enjoyed it more from a better view point though, our seats were VERY high up ;)

Have you seen the film? It's a good adaptation from it!
